personally I don't think it would work. I can see a minimum post count for posting pics like other sites, but it is tough to get to 100 posts. It took me a long asstime on this site. I visit the site all the time, but don't always post to the threads. I think it would really hinder us "leisure" people who don't always use the board as a chat room.

If I'm looking to buy an item, and somebody who is trying to sell the same item comes to the forum [even though he/she typically only frequents another board] to try to sell it, can't do it, so I loose.

If someone with less than 100 post cant sell stuff on here then why should they buy something from someone on here? It would be lose lose for everyone. When I first came to this site I was looking for some parts and I bought a rear end. Noboby careed that I only had a few post then

:stan3:
I think this would just create alot of bullshit posts from newbies trying to pad their post count to get 100

That's exactly what it would do.

CC already stated the point I would have made (but much more nicely, of course). Its an absolutely horrible idea from a business/marketing perspective. The lack of such a restriction and the very few rules we have (compared to Jeepforums, etc) are key attractions vs. the other boards. 1st posts in the Marketplace are not an issue.

Key attractions? I think people come for the butsecks, stay for the marketplace
